![]() ![]() A queen can lay up to 1,000 eggs per day. A queen’s main duties are in the laying of eggs. If she isn’t fed, her health will suffer, as she relies on the workers completely to care for her. All of these are done for her by the worker bees. A queen bee doesn’t feed herself or groom and clean herself. However, despite having many ‘princesses,’ only one would survive to be the queen.Ī queen bee is the biggest bee in the colony, but that doesn’t make her a bigger threat. The contingency plan works, and bees are never left queenless. Out of the several cells created, some will survive. This is done to ensure that even in the case of a tragedy or attack, not all hope of having a queen will be lost. Worker bees always set up more than one cell for the chosen “princess” larvae. This secretion allows them to develop reproductive abilities and other abilities, such as their long life span. Queen bees develop from larvae set aside by the worker bees and fed a special secretion of proteins called royal jelly. This ensures that only one queen is left standing. They then battle each other to the death, once they meet. ![]() If two queens hatch at the same time, they go around killing off the rest. She then kills them with her stinger before they hatch to ensure her position as queen. This means, at the time of maturity, there’ll be several young, virgin queens who’d be fit to be the queen bee.ĭue to this, the first queen to hatch as a virgin queen seeks out the other cells holding the rest of her sisters. There are always several larvae chosen to be raised as queens. Queen bees use their stingers for the purpose of ensuring their position as queen. This means that it is very rare for a queen bee to sting people and other mammals. A worker bee will only sting you if you have hurt it, or if you are threatening the hive.Ī queen bee does not have any of these defense mechanisms as she is not concerned with the defense of the hive. ![]() Why Do Bees Sting?įor bees, stinging is a defense mechanism. This is how bees die after stinging.Ī queen bee, however, has a smooth stinger so she can sting multiple times. In the process of trying, she’ll end up tearing herself apart, leaving behind her stinger and some of her abdomen. Due to the barbed stinger, a bee will be unable to pull out her stinger when she stings. Yes, queen bees sting, although their stingers are different from those of the other female bees. Worker bees have barbed stingers - this means that, if they sting, the stinger gets stuck in the mammal’s skin to continue pumping poison. ![]()

The graphics superseded the original by far especially when the game gave you the opportunity to switch to the original rendition of the game, but what really made Grim Fandango so damn good was the fact they didn't change a single thing, I played the whole game with tank controls to get the ultimate feel, I loved the voice acting, the puzzles were smart and engaging and the story was PHENOMENAL! Maybe I liked the fact the 90s neo-noir feel was still intact and undamaged, maybe I fell in love with the nostalgia, nevertheless it was a beautiful game which I will be recommending to everyone.***Voted one of the Best Games of 2015 by the Apple's editoral team*** I'm still in awe, this game is a masterpiece! I remembered playing this game on PC years ago and was a little sceptic when I found out a remastered edition was coming out for ps4, I initially decided against playing it because i thought it wouldn't have been like I remembered, and it wasn't, it was much better. Let me start by saying that it takes a lot for me to give a 10/10 rating! Rarely anything surpasses my expectations but by god this did. ![]() ![]() For example, given one phrasing of a question, the model can claim to not know the answer, but given a slight rephrase, can answer correctly. ChatGPT is sensitive to tweaks to the input phrasing or attempting the same prompt multiple times.Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth (2) training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows. ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.We performed several iterations of this process. Using these reward models, we can fine-tune the model using Proximal Policy Optimization. We randomly selected a model-written message, sampled several alternative completions, and had AI trainers rank them. To collect this data, we took conversations that AI trainers had with the chatbot. To create a reward model for reinforcement learning, we needed to collect comparison data, which consisted of two or more model responses ranked by quality. We mixed this new dialogue dataset with the InstructGPT dataset, which we transformed into a dialogue format. We gave the trainers access to model-written suggestions to help them compose their responses. We trained an initial model using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides-the user and an AI assistant. We trained this model using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using the same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup. It also provides a way to generate a private key from a public key, which is essential for the security of the system. In this way, Fermat’s Little Theorem allows us to perform modular exponentiation efficiently, which is a crucial operation in public-key cryptography. ![]() ![]() To decrypt the message, the recipient simply computes m = c b m o d n m = c^b \bmod n m = c b mod n, which (by Fermat’s Little Theorem) is equivalent to m = ( m a ) b m o d n = m ( a b ) m o d n = m 1 m o d n = m m o d n m = (m^a)^b \bmod n = m^(ab) \bmod n = m^1 \bmod n = m \bmod n m = ( m a ) b mod n = m ( ab ) mod n = m 1 mod n = m mod n. To encrypt a message with the user’s public key ( n, a ) (n, a) ( n, a ), we first convert the message into a number m m m (using some agreed-upon scheme), and then compute the encrypted message c c c as c = m a m o d n c = m^a \bmod n c = m a mod n. This means that when we multiply a a a and b b b together, the result is congruent to 1 1 1 modulo n n n. The user’s private key would be the pair ( n, b ) (n, b) ( n, b ), where b b b is the modular multiplicative inverse of a modulo n n n. The user’s public key would then be the pair ( n, a ) (n, a) ( n, a ), where aa is any integer not divisible by p p p or q q q. We might choose two large prime numbers, p p p and q q q, and then compute the product n = p q n = pq n = pq. For example, suppose we want to generate a public-key cryptography system for a user with the initials “ABC”. One way to generate these keys is to use prime numbers and Fermat’s Little Theorem. In a public-key cryptography system, each user has a pair of keys: a public key, which is widely known and can be used by anyone to encrypt a message intended for that user, and a private key, which is known only to the user and is used to decrypt messages that have been encrypted with the corresponding public key. ![]() One of the most common applications is in the generation of so-called “public-key” cryptography systems, which are used to securely transmit messages over the internet and other networks. Fermat’s Little Theorem is used in cryptography in several ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() Donor attrition undoes the good that donor acquisition does For each 100 new donors nonprofits brought in, they lost 99. So, while you were spending time and money courting the new kids on the block, the old ones (who were already sold on your cause and showed up to support you) simply left.Īnd those donors would have required less money and less effort to keep engaged in your cause. And the 2018 Fundraising Effectiveness Report backs this up. Most studies agree that it costs nonprofits about 10 times more to bring in a new donor than to keep an existing donor. But when you throw all your time, effort and fundraising budget into donor acquisition, it can lead to donor attrition. ![]() It’s exciting when you’re able to turn new people on to your cause, engage them in a campaign and get them excited about what you do. Focusing too much time and effort on bringing in new donors So, what’s going on? What causes donor attrition? 1. But the nonprofit sector needs to take a cue from their for-profit counterparts and take attrition seriously. And, in business, some attrition is normal. Okay, so donor attrition statistics are scary. Let’s take a look at why this happens … and what your nonprofit can do to prevent donor attrition. Source: 2018 Fundraising Effectiveness ReportĪnd, the report goes on to say, “every 100 donors gained in 2017 was offset by 99 lost donors through attrition.” That means for every 100 donors you gained, you lost 99. That means only 45.5% of donors who gave to nonprofits in 2016 made another gift in 2017. The overall retention rate for nonprofits in the study was under 50%. And overall, the news is positive, because they reported 2% growth in nonprofit giving in 2017! Source: 2018 Fundraising Effectiveness Reportīut even though there was growth, there is a major downside: donor attrition. The report is a joint project between the Association of Fundraising Professionals and Urban Institute. The 2018 Fundraising Effectiveness Report provides a wealth of information about nonprofit fundraising trends. And here at Mightycause, we feel we need to talk about it. It hurts nonprofits’ bottom lines, affects their ability to keep their programs funded, and leads to wasteful spending.

"Well, those guys are best buds, so I'm sure a text message or two will go between those guys," said Tampa Bay head coach Jon Cooper. Palat's clutch goal tonight was the 10th game-winner of his playoff career, passing Tyler Johnson for the most game-winning goals in Lightning playoff history. He scored three game-winning goals in that year's postseason and went on to add two game-winners in the playoffs last year. In the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs when the Bolts won the second Stanley Cup in franchise history, Palat had the fourth-most points on the team. Throughout the Lightning's playoff runs over the past decade, Palat has performed consistently while showing up in some of the biggest moments. These are a few of the ways that Ondrej Palat's teammates have described him during this postseason. "One of the all-time greats to put on that jersey." ![]() Video: Gm3: Palat buries it short side to take lead After a massive effort from the Bolts on Sunday afternoon, let's take a look at three things that carried them to a big Game 3 win. Moving up the boards, Hedman fired a pass over to Kucherov, who ever so subtly slid the puck on his backhand to Ondrej Palat, who immediately fired a one-timer on net that got past Shesterkin with 41.6 seconds left in regulation.ĪMALIE Arena was buzzing and the Lightning shut down New York in the final moments to cap off the 3-2 victory. With less than a minute to play, the Bolts were still pushing the pace and throwing pucks at Shesterkin.Īfter Erik Cernak collected a bouncing puck at the blue line, he sent a pass across the line to Hedman. The Bolts finished the game with a 51-30 shot advantage.Īs it looked like the game may have been going to overtime, it was one of the all-time clutch performers in Lightning franchise history who sent Tampa Bay fans home happy. It was a dominant third period for Tampa Bay, who outshot New York by a count of 19-6 in the final frame with the Lightning attempting 32 shots and the Rangers attempting 11. The Lightning were rolling from that point on. It was a goal that Tampa Bay fans have seen time and time again, with Stamkos getting every bit of his shot to even the score. ![]() Just 1:22 into the period, Corey Perry sent a pass across the New York zone before Steven Stamkos skated downhill and blasted a bar-down one-timer past Shesterkin to tie the game at two. It was clear that the Bolts felt that urgency as well. The Lightning went into the second intermission trailing by one and while a loss wouldn't have ended their season, the third period felt just as important as it did in Game 6 vs. Taking a pass from Victor Hedman, Kucherov ripped a one-timer from the circle that got through the five hole of Igor Shesterkin to get the Bolts back within one goal. After the Rangers scored two power-play goals in the second period, the Lightning needed a response and they got one from Nikita Kucherov, who would finish the night with three points to pace Tampa Bay. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sing along and dance to the swim-sational music video.
